Comptia Project + Project Management

Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Any continuous series of schedule activities connected with logical relationships in a project schedule network diagram






2. Process which generates hundreds or thousands of probable performance outcomes based on probability distributions for cost and schedule on individual tasks. the outcomes are used to generate a probability distribution for a project as a whole.






3. Measure of schedule efficiency on a project. ratio of earned value (EV) and the planned value (PV). SV = EV minus PV.






4. Developing options and actions to enhance opportunities and to reduce threats to project objectives






5. The value of work performed expressed in terms of the approved budget assigned to that work for a schedule activity or work breakdown structure component. ALSO BCWP.






6. Group of related schedule activities aggregated at some summary level and displayed as a single activity at that summary level. same as summary activity.






7. A request - demand or assertion of rights by a seller against a buyer or vice versa for consideration - compensation - or payment under the terms of a legally binding contract (such as for a disputed change)






8. Request for proposal - but may have a narrower or more specific meaning






9. Estimating the type and quantities of material - people - equipment or supplies required to perform the activity






10. Something toward which work is to be directed - a strategic position to be attained - or a purpose to be achieved - a result to be obtained - a product to produced or a service to be performed






11. Defined systematic procedure employed by a human resource to perform an activity to produce a product or result or deliver a service that may employ one or more tools






12. Judgment provided based upon expertise in an application area - knowledge area - discipline - industry - etc. as appropriate for the activity being performed.






13. Information and data on the status of the project schedule activities being performed to accomplish the project work collected as part of the direct and manage project execute processes. Information includes: status of deliverables - implementation s






14. Group of potential causes of risk. such as technical - external - organizational - environmental - project management. a category may include subcategories






15. Identifying early and late start dates as well as early and late finish dates for the uncompleted portions of project schedule activities






16. Analytical technique used to determine basic underlying reason that causes a variance or defect or risk






17. A point in time associated with schedule activity's completion.






18. Extending or generating parallel schedule network paths from the same node in a project schedule network diagram. characterized by schedule activity with more than one successor activity






19. Quantifiable deviation - departure or divergence away from a known baseline or expected value






20. Document used to record and describe or denote selected items identified during execution of a process or activity






21. Adding features and functionality (project scope) without addressing the effects on time - costs - and resources or without customer approval






22. Output from performing project management processes and activities. results include outcomes and documents.






23. Document that specifies in a complete precise verifiable manner the requirements - design behavior or other characteristics of a system component - product - result or service






24. Quantitative risk analysis and modeling technique used to determine which risks have the most potential impact on the project. typical display of results is in the form of a tornado diagram






25. Technique that computes or iterates the project cost or project schedule many times using input values selected at random from probability distributions of possible costs or durations - to calculate a distribution of total project costs or completion






26. Amount of time that a schedule activity can be delayed without delaying the early start date of any immediately following schedule activities.






27. Any numbering system used to uniquely identify each component of the work breakdown structure






28. Estimate of the amount of work that has been completed on an activity or a work breakdown structure component






29. Partially complete document in a predefined format that provides a defined structure for collecting - organizing and presenting information and data






30. Implementing risk response plans - tracking identified risks - monitoring residual risks - identifying new risks and evaluating risk process throughout the project






31. Permission and direction to begin work on a specific schedule activity or work package or control account. sanctions project work to ensure that the work is done by the identified organization - at the right time - and in the proper sequence






32. Subdivision of a phase






33. Analytical technique to determine the essential features and relationships of components in the project management plan to establish a reserve for the schedule duration - budget - estimated cost or funds for a project






34. Bar chart showing the amount of time that a resource is scheduled to work over a series of time periods.






35. Number of labor units required to complete a schedule activity or work breakdown structure component






36. Collection of projects or programs and other work that are grouped together to facilitate effective management of that work to meet strategic business objectives
